Final Four Open Thread- I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue edition

Apparently what WVU is lacking is an 8’4” center with a 3 inch vertical leap, like that freak of nature ZOubek.

C’mon Mounties, you can do it!

BTW- my mother is very concerned that you all will no longer love Tunch when he loses weight, because we think he is going to lose a lot with all his new activities. I said the love is forever.

    Hey John’s mom, we love Tunch no matter what he weighs or how hefty he is. There will always be something to mock and adore. (And BTW, John’s mom, your otherwise admirable son keeps ignoring our pleas, so I’ll ask you directly: how are Ginny and Guesly, and could we plz haz some new pics or vids of them? K. Thx. Bai!)

    The love for Tunch is eternal, it will never fade, even as he loses weight. Just as my love for my DH is eternal, seeing as he is dropping pounds like the Christian RWNJ’s are dropping the RNC.

    Just remember the law of conservation of matter, namely, that mass is neither lost nor gained in closed systems. “Closed systems” includes families, you see, which means that if Tunch loses weight, either you or Lily will gain weight.

    Ah, there goes Joshua on horseback, sorry Cecil, horses weren’t ridden back then, too small, too scrawny.

    Sorry about your Eers, Cole. I’ll be rooting for Butler Monday.

    Svelte Tunch will be as loved as fat Tunch.

    Yutsano, I went to a football school who sometimes does really well at basketball.Also baseball, gymnastics and wrestling. And our tall bitches in crimson britches are in the Final 4 tomorrow night! Boomer Sooner!

    OK John, now you have me curious. What’s this fantastic exercise routine that you have Tunch on?

    (I imagine a large, Tunch-sized hamster wheel in the middle of your place.)

    Anyone good at Photoshop?

    If Tunch loses the weight he needs to, I’ll donate $25 to John’s charity of choice. Say, 8 lbs.?

    Seconded. I’ll match this donation.

    Also, Barack Obama Looking at Awesome Things is pretty funny. I can’t decide if I prefer him looking at the Bridge of the Enterprise or at the Matrix.

    John Cole: You have a first-class Mom as well as a fine Kitteh who will always be evolving into his Best Self. Unless he’s done evolving. He really does seem like some kind of higher form.

    I just watched Puppies Drying Themselves again. I treat myself to this a couple of times a month.

    Mark S. :

    The first seven hours of The Ten Commandments is some of the boringest shit ever put on film, but the last hour is some good stuff.

    So glad you thought that over. I mean, what about raiding the temple granaries. “What is food for the gods will not sour in the belly of a slave!”

    And Nefertiri beating the old Pharoah at hounds and jackals while Rameses strides and glowers. And then there’s Moses and a beautiful girl saving Moses’ mother —his MOTHER, for goodness sake—from being crushed by a stone AND the giant obelisk rising over the new treasure city with 2000 SLAVES ON THOSE ROPES and Moses using devastating cool reason to overcome Ramses’ nasty accusations? And Vincent Price getting a big bad surprise, AND those beautiful gowns and veils and things! And don’t get me started on the plagues and the MUSIC and crossing the desert and fighting the goatherds!

    OK, I’m done. I’ve got it on DVD and what’s more, I’ve known the whole thing by heart since 1956. There’s never been anything like it.

    I don’t think understatement works for you. Perhaps you should consider ramping up the rhetoric a touch?

    I turned the teevee on when I got home tonight and it was still on MSNBC They have a lock up across the world piece where they’ve showed a prison in Serbia with an Olympic sized pool and weekend passes. Hell, they’ve showed prisons in Eastern Europe that are better than any American prisons. And, oh yeah, my alma mater has won the NCAA championship and been in the final four several times and also too, had the longest streak of appearing in the NCAAs till this year.

    is there ever even maybe a three day period of the year when there isn’t a fucking sport to put up with? go ahead, call me a party pooper. in return i’ll tell you i don’t give a rat’s ass, because you’re not the one who has to deal with this endless parade of sports teams, none of whom make my dinner, pay me money or give me a hard-on in any way whatsoever. i ask humbly, what is the fucking point?, and again, can anyone point to a calendar and tell me when is the half-hour in which no sports season is active, because I am thinking very seriously of starting a cult, and that time period will be like our Easter-like time of renewal every year. & yeah, i have an alma mater, too, for those of you about to mention that, and i don’t give a shit about it either.

    ::slowly comes to::

    Wha? Shit, guys, I’m sorry. March madness, man. March fucking madness. Does it every year.

    Maxwel,

    Did you actually go to Duke? Because I’ve been dealing with you losers for over 30 years and if there’s a definition of an alligator mouth attached to a tadpole ass, it’s a dookie.

    We love Tunch’s attitude. That’s unlikely to get smaller.

  128. Loneoak - April 4, 2010 | 12:32 am · Link

    Based on the pictorial evidence, Tunch’s “activities” are staring at a window and getting wasted on the nip.

    Just like me.

    So what you’re saying is you have a full rich life. Excellent.

    @ Yusatano, and much like Tunch, it is not good for the weights.

    Uh, I will believe the weight loss stories when I see the evidence. I have a big, fat cat too, and it is hard as hell to get the weight off of him. Good luck.

    We know imported Texans are responsible for your school’s football program. It appears them are who influences grammar there as well.

    A window-squawker is sort of like a former half-term governor of Alaska, except that you have actual responsibilities.

    @John Cole:

    [. . .] my mother is very concerned that you all will no longer love Tunch when he loses weight, because we think he is going to lose a lot with all his new activities. I said the love is forever.

    My love for the Tunch is whole; it is complete; it is total. And I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Tunch love.

  140. Skepticat - April 4, 2010 | 8:59 am · Link

    Are we the slightest bit insulted that John’s mother thinks that we’re that shallow?
